Join our summer crew to learn how to take care of the land!
Native Roots Network (NRN) is seeking motivated young adults (18-24) to join the Yə
Kila Land Restoration Crew, an 8-week Land Stewardship Cohort, focused on cultural
reconnection, ecological restoration, traditional knowledge, and leadership
development. Participants will engage in hands-on land stewardship projects while
learning about soil and water health, traditional plants and foods, biodiversity, fire
ecology, biochar, and NRN’s very own community production lab.
The program blends Traditional Indigenous Knowledge with Western science and
includes weekly cultural language components, rotating crew leadership roles, and a
final reflection and celebration. Crew members will work together as a cohort,
contributing to meaningful restoration work on the land while building skills in teamwork,
critical thinking, safety, and community leadership. Basic gear will be provided during
the program.
Participants will leave with practical skills, stronger community ties, and a deeper
relationship with the land. Application and information below.
